As I walk down this road
Towards a destination unknown
I pray sometime soon
That place will be shown

I’ve walked many miles
In these shoes that are not mine
So I could understand why
You chose to leave me behind

These shoes are now tattered
And my feet very sore
And I understand your reason
Even less than before

So the old saying is wrong
At least for us two
Because I’ve walked more than a mile
Down this road in your shoes

You came into this world
A little different than most
But born to me as my son
Who I love and will always hold close

You’re filled with such joy
And see the world through loving eyes
That I could see past your disability
Was really no big surprise

There was so much about your condition
I had to study and learn
But with an open heart and mind
It never gave me a moment of concern

Look at you now
A handsome young boy
Learning and growing
And filling everyone’s heart with joy

I am your proud father
And will do all that I can
To make sure you develop
Into a self sufficient young man

So even though you were born
With an extra chromosome
We will make the best life together
And overcome your Down’s syndrome

Please shut up
You’re always talking
Like a ******* chicken
You’re always squawking

Going on and on
About things you don’t even know
It’s like diarrhea of the mouth
Just a constant sickening flow

You have not a clue
On how annoying you sound
Your constant useless babble
Is causing my brain to become unwound

You’re always running your mouth
So shut your trap
And stop filling my ears
With all of your crap

Be quiet a minute
And rest your mouth a bit
Then you may realize
No one really gives a ****!

I’m waiting for the day
You will embrace my weary soul
Lift my descending spirit
And fill my hearts gaping hole

I’m waiting for the day
We can share our hopes and dreams
The day we can share with one another
What true love really means

I’m waiting for the day
I can look into your eyes
Hold you in my arms
With no fear of saying goodbye

Now no longer waiting
That day is now here
Fate has now found us
Our future is now clear

Forever united as one
Our bond can never be broken
Words of love eternal
Never needing to be spoken

Days full of happiness
And evenings of passion and bliss
Mornings started with a smile
And nights ended with a kiss

The day came and went
And is now long past
But our love continues to grow
Our wildest dreams we did surpass

A beautiful life spent together
As lover and friend
Wanting our moments to last
And the days to never end

But now I’m dreading the day
Heaven calls my angel home
And again I will be lost and broken
And left all alone

I will be waiting for the day
To be reunited once again
With my soul mate and partner
My lover, my friend

An eternal lifetime together
Where there’s no existence of time
Just an eternity of happiness
Enjoying days that never end

Where did you come from
A distant time or place
From one of my dreams
Did I imagine your face

Your voice is a familiar song
That plays through my head
The lyrics were written
From the beautiful things that you have said

You touched my heart deep
With emotions so strong
With those beautiful eyes
And your sweet loving song

Do I know you from another life
Can this be true
I see in your smile
you are wondering this too

Our closeness we have
Is beyond all compare
The understanding is simple
Of the connection we share

Both knowing and wondering
Sometime and somewhere
Our hearts were as one
And we had not a care

Though my mind is unsure
How all this can be
One thing I know for certain
Is our love was to be
